I recently read an article on the New York Times Well Blog about a study in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports. The study, by Michael Rathleff and colleagues, compared strengthening vs. stretching exercises to treat plantar fasciitis (PF). In a nutshell, the Times article reported that the study found strengthening exercises to […]

5 Observations On Running in Hokas From a More Minimal-Leaning Runner
September 2, 2014 By 63 Comments
Over the past few weeks I’ve put about 30 miles on a pair of Hoka Clifton shoes, making it the first pair of Hokas that I’ve logged more than a single run in. As a more minimal-oriented runner I was quite curious to see how I’d fare in a shoe at the more maximal end […]
Ask Coach Caleb: Why Should Runners Vary Pacing for Different Types of Workouts?
May 14, 2014 By 17 Comments
If you’ve ever had the chance to see how elite runners train, one thing that becomes apparent very quickly is how their approach to pace/effort is different from most amateur runners. Elite runners tend to run their workouts really hard when it’s called for, and they run really slow (relatively speaking) during warm-up and on […]

Rotating Running Shoes: Thoughts From Saucony
February 13, 2014 By 36 Comments
The concept of rotating shoes is one that I have written about many times, as have others in the running blogosphere. Yesterday I posted about how foot strike changes with running speed, and I touched on the fact that different shoes might thus be appropriate for different workouts. I’ve also written about a study that […]
Mizuno Wave Rider 17: Guest Review by Tyler Mathews
February 6, 2014 By 16 Comments
I have a shoe rotation that includes minimalist, performance, racing flats, and traditional trainers. Of these, I put the bulk of my mileage on traditional trainers – I use them on all of those long, slow, boring runs that nobody really cares to hear about. I typically put in around 80 miles a week, with only about 20-30 […]
Brooks Transcend Video Ad in Runner’s World
January 25, 2014 By 13 Comments
Two days ago I received a large envelope in the mail that contained the March issue of Runner’s World. It felt a bit stiffer than a typical issue, and after reading an accompanying letter from Brooks, I opened the magazine to find that Brooks had placed a video ad inside for their new shoe, the […]
Topo MT (Mountain Trainer) Review: A Non-Tabi Topo Trail Shoe
January 21, 2014 By 15 Comments
Last year Tony Post made a bit of a splash when he left his position as CEO of Vibram USA to launch his own footwear company. Post led Vibram through a period of time when the Fivefingers line of “toe-shoes” were red hot, and left just as VFF sales seemed to be headed off a […]

January 16, 2014 By 14 Comments
Last week I posted results of the Runblogger reader survey of top road running shoes of 2013. Today we move on to results for top trail shoes. A total of 233 individuals submitted a total of 452 votes (each person could submit up to 3 shoes). As with the road shoe survey, I have pooled […]
The Potential Downside of Wearable Biomechanical Monitoring Devices for Running
January 14, 2014 By 35 Comments
One of the big trends I see coming is an onslaught of wearable monitoring devices that can measure aspects of your running biomechanics. For example, I received a Garmin Forerunner 620 for Christmas. The Garmin 620 is unique among Garmin watches in that it adds in the ability to measure a slew of new variables […]
New Balance 890 v4 Review: The Barcalounger of Running Shoes
January 13, 2014 By 16 Comments
One of my top shoes from last year was the New Balance 1400v2. It’s a simple, comfortable, no frills shoe that provided just enough cushion – kind of like an Ikea Poang chair: = Given that I tolerated the 9mm drop 1400v2 just fine, I thought I’d give the 10mm drop New Balance 890 v4 […]
Runblogger Reader Survey Results: Top Road Running Shoes of 2013
January 6, 2014 By 35 Comments
A few weeks ago I posted a survey asking Runblogger readers to vote for their top 3 road and trail shoes of 2013. The response was incredible! A total of 523 people submitted votes for top road shoes, and 233 submitted votes for top trail shoes. I’ve tallied the road shoe votes and the results […]
A New Blog, and A Post On Honesty in Blog Reviews
December 10, 2013 By 7 Comments
I love to write, and for several months I’ve been contemplating the idea of starting a second blog. Runblogger is my first home, but it has grown into more of a niche site than I originally intended, and a lot of the topics I’d like to write about would simply not fit well here. For […]
My Ideal Running Shoe Rotation
December 6, 2013 By 49 Comments
I’m part of a pretty active group on Facebook that is aptly titled “Running Shoe Geeks.” The group is diverse in that we have minimalist aficionados, folks who prefer more traditional shoes, industry insiders, regular runners, and a smattering of scientists and therapists. Last night I posted a link to an article I wrote yesterday […]
Time For a New Shoe Rack!
October 23, 2013 By 34 Comments
My racks at home are full, and the images below don’t include the full box ready to go to Soles 4 Souls, the rack in my bedroom closet, or the bookcase-full that I brought to work as demos. Yes, I have a problem, and that Brooks Green Silence seems to be missing its partner…
